Everyone knows success in this industry is timing and luck.

Most of those SWA chest thumper don't get it.

I know how lucky I am.

Suits or tank tops, it dosen't matter.

Suits travel during recessions because they have too. Laid off tanks tops don't travel during recessions.

The end of the month? Hell, I'm in the hole after the first week.

Your lucky to have a job, so to me, that dosen't sound like job security from your end. Want to share where your at since you cast stones at employees from another airline all the time.

Atleast GL has the balls to back up his claims from a comparison perspective.

Yeah, because recessions never effect businesses.

Funny thing is, SWA has not only survived during the last 3 recessions; they actually THRIVED during them.

Show me one other carrier that has gobbled up that much market share while all the other carriers have been bleeding red ink.

It was interesting to see that LUV posted a $165 million profit last quarter, with fuel hedges bringing in $183 million. Without good hedging, it looks like LUV would be around $20 million in the red. Am I right on this? Thank gawd you have hedging. Good job for that.

I was asking a question. If you DIDN'T have the hedges, would you be in the red according to your own numbers? Instead of trying to put me down, answer the question. It is great that you have the hedges, good for you. Answer the question.

I work at Skybus! Or do I?

Why don't you post your resume fat boy?

 

[328dude]

Just as I suspected.........

Fat boy's rule, it's the girls you have to watch out for. But you already know that...

The article says you had $162 million in net profit and:

"Despite favorable cash settlements from our fuel hedging program of $189 million for third quarter 2007"


So, had you not had the $189 million cash settlements for the hedging program, you would have been $27 million in the hole, right? Am I right or wrong? Thank gawd for your fuel hedging.

Bye Bye--General Lee
